Nebraska cows outnumber people 4 to 1, especially in the Sandhills. With high winds and dry grass, fire season is nearly year-round. Cattle herds are at a 75-year low, making it crucial to support ranchers. #laura farms

Recent videos show how dry things are. Fires have continuous fuel to jump and keep burning. It's even possible to bale hay in March, which is unheard of. It's just been so dry. #laura farms

Hoping for a quiet semi-truck haul, but it wouldn't start. So, the pickup truck it is. Found some good round alfalfa bales – disaster relief for these cows, providing enough calories to get them through this harsh wind and cold until the green grass returns. #laura farms

Seeing bales delivered is great, but the real story here is the devastation: fence posts burned off, vegetation gone, roots exposed, and sand blowing freely. It'll be a while before anything grows back for the cows. #laura farms

This wildfire is the biggest in Nebraskan history, a stark contrast to the simple joy of cows enjoying fresh hay bales. Several pieces of equipment have already caught fire, including combines and pivots. #laura farms

Years to rebuild herd sizes after fires. Firefighters from across the state, alongside the National Guard, are containing the blaze. Seeing them in action is incredible; the work they do often goes uncredited as they run into danger to protect everyone. #laura farms

Amidst news of widespread devastation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But here in Nebraska, incredible communities are pitching in time and resources. It's wonderful to see hope at work. #laura farms

Nebraska is experiencing its largest wildfire ever, with over half a million acres burned in under 24 hours. The devastation is immense, with fire departments working tirelessly and residents forced to evacuate. High winds make containment and escape incredibly difficult. #laura farms

The heat, humidity, and sweat are biblical out here. But Sarge is home and the pivot tires are changed. Thanks for spending your Friday with us on the farm – it’s our honor to serve you. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! #laura farms #farming #agriculture #farm

Turns out the best way to share sweet corn is just giving it away. The more people who get it, the better. If you're running a mercantile, feel free to send folks my way, but honestly, just passing it out for free feels the most rewarding. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #gardening

The sweet corn giveaway had its moments: a Celsius for energy, a massive spill that covered corn, a customer, and even me (with a corn bug surprise!). One lady took 100 ears for her family. Giving away for free feels way better than selling. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #sweetcorn

Sweet corn's high sugar content vs. field corn's starch means picking it right when the kernels turn milky, not fully mature. It's best fresh-picked, as sugar rapidly declines once off the plant – refrigeration helps slow this. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #sweetcorn #gardening

Turns out a little brake fluid and some Kruegel on a hinge can make a big difference. We're fifth and sixth-generation farmers, but still learning every day. Appreciate the suggestions from those with more life experience to help make farm life easier. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #farm #agri

Corn plants sweat too, releasing humidity through transpiration as part of the water cycle. During peak growing season, the stalks get so tall they can actually block cell service nearby. Anyone else notice this phenomenon? #laura farms #farming #agriculture #corn

The corn harvest is underway! It's been a long summer, perfect for eating it raw. Cooking just doesn't sound appealing in this heat. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #harvest

Turns out, corn isn't technically a vegetable — it's a member of the grass family. Each kernel's silk is connected, and this grass patch is surprisingly efficient at converting sunlight to biomass. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #gardening #corn

This farm tradition is so rewarding! Getting to give back to the community and say hi to neighbors. Sweet corn success, and now time to fix a pivot. A trip to town always means multiple stops. #laura farms #farming #agriculture #community
